Not sure but one of them was their best Receiver and only a sophomore in big Mac Franzen. He would have been a deadly option at TE this season for the Birds. Can you imagine? wow...

 

I like Mac. Nice player. But I'm keeping the senior, Ian McGurn as my starting TE (and with the talented receiving corps we have, I doubt Dale with go with double TEs). Once he catches the ball, he runs like a RB. His yards after catch are amazing.

MAC is going to be a very good one. McGurn gave HHS a pass catching TE with a great YAC. I am a fan of both.

One thing I don't quite understand in the 4 classes versus 6 classes discussion is the contention that 4 classes would make the games more competitive. It seems to me that if you have 6 classes, each team in a particular class is at the most only 16.67% (1/6) apart, whereas with 4 classes, the difference between the best and worst within any one class would be 25% (1/4). Therefore, the gap, and thus more lopsided games, within each of the 4 classes is more pronounced when there are only 4 classes.

To extend this line of thinking...the fewer the classes, the more chances for blowouts.

Please tell me what I am overlooking in this.

People don't care about the regular season. They only care about the playoffs. They say there will be more competitive playoff/championship games in the playoffs with 4 classes and that is what they are arguing for. They don't want to see any blowouts in the playoffs.

I think if there are fewer classes, that means fewer teams overall in the playoffs, which makes for more competitive games. In other words (and I'm just grabbing numbers - I have no idea how it really works), with 6 classes the top 160 teams in the state make it to the playoffs, which means teams that aren't very good are playing top teams. With 4 classes you might get 110 teams making the playoffs. Those "bad" teams (111-160) aren't getting pounded by the top teams.

 

I think you're going to get blowouts even with 3 or 2 classes. The only way to avoid it (on a widespread scale - you can't completely avoid it) is take the top 30 teams and have one championship tournament.

Lets face it, public schools can not consistently compete with private and independent programs. Put all the private and independent schools into one classification, regardless of male student body size, and let them duke it out in one bracket. Then let the public schools compete in a separate playoff bracket.

Independent schools are public schools.

No. The large public school systems (Jefferson County and Fayette County) have all but abandoned their football capabilities and left Scott County and Simon-Kenton as the defenders of 6A from the traditional large schools.

 

One class for privates? Small class - 12 schools. That are currently mostly in 3A and 2A.

Where are you, KHSAA? These final games have been old-fashioed butt-whippings. Is it possible to just anoint the state champions without the trouble of five weeks of playoffs?

We been running and lifting this week, my kid is sore. We are looking forward to the future. :ylsuper:

Just a side note: of the twelve teams in the state championships this weekend , only 2 are private.

They both have won their games . So that means that less then half the State championship games were won by private schools. Just alittle food for thought to those that think privite / public should be seperate.

If Bluegrasscard is correct, and I have no reason to doubt it; then private schools won 33% of the state championships this year and their 12 schools comprise 5% of the total number of schools playing football.

 

And I have absolutely no dog in this fight. None whatsoever.

If Bluegrasscard says it , it's gospel ! The man knows what he is talking about .
